The use of plants to heal or combat illness is probably as old as human-kind-a fact that has not been ignored by medical science. The pharmaceutical industry grew out of the use of herbs for treating specific complaints, and many of today’s prescription drugs are extracts from plants administered in controlled doses. And the search continues for new drugs among wild plants as yet untapped for their medicinal riches.Herbal healing is a speciality that will need to be cultivated for survival situations. A survival team should have at least on person trained in herbal lore and medicinal herbs. A Herb that I discussed during a previous blog that I felt was extremely important for your supplies was Echinacea. Golden Seal is another herb that I recommend for your stores.
Golden Seal Root has a long history of use among Native Americans. It was used for sore eyes, mouth ulcers, and mixed with bear grease to use as an insect repellent. It has great antiseptic and has healing properties and is great for cleansing the liver and blood as well as restore digestive functions. Some herbalists use caution against this herb due to it causing uterine contractions. Golden Seal can be made into extracts and tinctures. My previous post mentioned several herbal remedies. Hopefully you have had a chance to try these techniques. The will become helpful in survival situations.
